Sažetak

Stainless steel-304 was modified electrochemically by potentiostatic and potentiodynamic methods (triangular and square-wave potential-time programs) in 1 mol dm–3 NaOH solution, hydrothermally in 1 mol dm–3 NaOH at 200 °C, and chemically in 0.5 mol dm–3 K2Cr2O7 solution. Oxide films were characterized voltammetrically by the charge of Fe(OH)2/FeOOH surface electrochemical reaction. The stability of the oxide films was measured in 0.5 mol dm–3 H2SO4 by anodic potentiodynamic polarization and by opencircuit potential-time measurements. The hydrothermally grown oxide film was most stable. The most efficient oxide growth was achieved by the use of square-wave type of modification. The oxide modified by this procedure exhibited lower stability than the oxide grown by triangular potential-time program, which was much more stable due to the uncompleted reduction of chromium oxide. The importance of careful control of experimental conditions, where a small change in surface treatment could lead to a significant change in corrosion behaviour, is pointed out.
